I have two that practically knocked one of my friends off their feet, they were laughing so hard. 1. I used to believe that those little dirt particles on your window (on the outside) were birds flying too high to be seen properly by the human eye. Hey, I was only about four... And 2. I used to believe (and still do to this day; I am almost 16) that earwigs can crawl into your ear when you are sleeping, bite your brain stem, cause you to go into a comatose state while sleeping, and you eventually die within a few hours. I mean, IS that really possible; if not, WHY are they called "earwigs"???!!!
